"O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Most Divine, all Praise & all Thanksgiving be every moment Thine!"

At St. Edward, we have the beautiful privelage of having perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in our Adoration Chapel. In this form of adoration the sacred host is placed in the monstrance, a sacred object used to display Christ in the form of consecrated bread and this is placed on the altar for the faithful to come and adore. You are always welcome to come to the chapel any time, but in particular we need volunteers to cover each hour of every day. If you are able to commit to a certain hour per week please let our coordinator, Bob Isabelle know.

Once a week on Wednesdays, we move Eucharistic Adoration into the main body of the church, so that we can celebrate the popular devotions to the Blessed Sacrament as a larger community. After the morning mass, we expose the Blessed Sacrament on the main altar singing the proper Eucharistic chants and then we finish the day with Benediction before the evening Mass, when the Priest or Deacon will bless those present with the Holy Eucharist using the Monstrance with the exposed Sacred Host after which adoration resumes privately in the Adoration Chapel. En San Edwardo, tenemos el privelegio de tener adoración perpetual del Santísimo Sacramento en nuestra Capilla de Adoración. En esta forma de adoración, la Sagrada Hostia se pone en la custodia, un ostensorio sagrado, en el cual se muestra a los fieles a Cristo en la forma del pan eucarístico para su adoración. Siempre estan invitados a venir a la capilla en algun tiempo, pero especialmente necesitamos voluntarios para quedar en la capilla cada hora cada día. Si podría tener una hora cierta cada semana por favór hablar con Bob Isabelle, quien esta encargado.

"May the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus be praised, adored, and thanked in every tabernacle throughout the world, until the end of time!"

Because God is truly present in the consecreated species of bread and wine, we must preserve the sacred gits with the greatest reverence and worship our Lord and Redeemer in the Most Blessed Sacrament. The consecrated hosts are kept in sacred vessels in the tabernacle. Since the Most Blessed Sacrament is present in them, the tabernacle, where the consecrated hosts are preserved, is one of the most venerable places in the church. We genuflect before any tabernacle. Certainly, anyone who is really following Christ will recognize him in the poorest of the poor and serve him in them. But he will also find time to spend in adoration before the tabernacle and offer his love to our Eucharistic Lord.
